Belvedere Downtown Hotel Kit

Good instructions! All kinds of extra decals. Very high quality model perfect for heavy detailing! I Weathered the grout, brick & stone, hand painted awnings (they come solid white)It's not easy but the best way is by hand doing both colors over & over till you get it looking good....to small to mask off. I also added after market glass ..window glaze not included with the model & absolutely needs it with all the openings, but at $11-$15 not a big deal. The window glazing sheets are very inexpensive to buy $2-6 bucks for several notebook size sheets, then your good to go for endless model window projects. I also painted the roof to look like tar,:really easy to do and looks great.. Great little model with excellent presence & great small foot print. The lack of glass is the only reason I've rated 4 stars instead of five..... review by A. Cali

got this a while ago and enjoyed building it. should have more awnings though.looks great.

This kit goes together rather easily, as the kit builds up like a layer cake. Each story has it's four walls cast as one unit. Unfortunately, this makes it much more difficult to use it to build a background flat. It is however, a very typical looking masonry building that lends itself to almost any application. The detailing parts allow the builder to give it a little bit of individuality. It is nice to have the fire escapes, even if they are a little thick in their cross sections. At this price, I recommend giving it a try and seeing what it inspires you to make it into.
